wow im so jealous of you. I drove my car down there 2 weeks ago to drop it off, had them look at it, took them all day to decide it was just a leak. Then I had to go pick it up so they could order the parts. Then I was gonna bring it back the next day (parts were supposed to be overnight) and the parts werent there... well, they FINALLY got the parts in like yesterday after 2 weeks so im taking it in on monday. And they are just sealing it up.

If something happens to the tcase in the future, are they supposed to fix it for free or no since they already performed the recall??

thats where the fun begins. most will tell you that since they already preformed the recall they will charge you, some have had luck by harassing/threatening the dealerships you get the idea.

EDIT: I shoulda got that in writing

yes you should.

on a side note i just bought the re-sealing kit myself, like $35 from talahasee. better than fighting and letting someone else drive my car, along with driving 30miles to get there..... ill let you guys know if it holds.

I got my 92 Dodge Stealth TT AWD recently and juth put her up on a lift and found the transfer case dripping, called my local Dodge dealer and they asked me for my VIN#....and set up an appointment to seal it free of charge.....anymore recalls i can have fixed at the dealer?

Ok 63 pages is way too many to just run through so do we or do we NOT have the recall number and if we do what is it?
